These Creepy Cakes Will Make Sure That No One Is Hungry For Dessert

I really wish I could get the visionary behind this gruesome green thing in a room for a couple of minutes to ask them a few questions. I’m pretty sure that I understand what they’re going for here. Green skin, big nose, and strange ogre ears. Black sweatshirt, bangs, lip piercing, and choker. This is Emo Shrek, right?

So I understand what it is, but what I don’t understand is why. Is there some secret Emo Shrek fan-fiction with a cult following that I’m unaware of? Is there a less popular prequel movie in which we witness Shrek undergoing his angsty adolescent phase? Dear cake, please reveal to me your secrets.
